You said

You said “your beautiful, the only one”,
You have already seen the other
You told me I was special to you,
You told her that you loved her
You sat with me and talked,
You held her tight and kissed her
You met my parents at school,
You went to her house for dinner
You got me a rose,
You got her a silver necklace
With this on the pendant,
‘We will always be one’

You did all this thinking that I never knew
But I saw it,
I saw everything in your eyes, I saw
You used me as you toy, but she was your love,
I was like some one to use and then forget
Not anymore, I have had enough,
I am not going to die, just go away to a better place
I know I am not perfect, not the best one at all,
You showed me, thank you
So now I am going to go,
Away from here, just what you wanted
All I want YOU to know is that, I love you,
That is all I will ever do and never stop doing it
I will always love you

I will never forget what you said,
“You are beautiful, the only one”
That is what You Said.
